Director, Clinical Quality Assurance

About Us

We are developing potentially best in class therapies for patients living with severe autoimmune diseases. Our lead antibody, claseprubart (DNTH103), is purposefully engineered with extended half-life, improved potency, and high selectivity for only the active C1s complement protein that drives disease pathology – enabling less frequent and more convenient self-administered subcutaneous injections. Our second clinical candidate, DNTH212 is a first and potentially best in class, bifunctional inhibitor that targets clinically validated and complementary disease modifying mechanisms, Type 1 IFN suppression and B cell modulation – enabling potential for improved clinical outcomes and patient friendly convenient, self-administered subcutaneous injections.

About the Role

The Director, Clinical Quality Assurance (QA), will be responsible for end-to-end quality oversight of global clinical trials to ensure compliance with applicable regulatory requirements and internal standards.

Reporting to the Sr. Director, Clinical QA, you will provide independent quality oversight of clinical development programs, ensuring that clinical trial conduct, data integrity, and sponsor oversight activities meet expectations of global regulatory authorities (e.g. ICH, FDA, EMA, MHRA, etc.)

Your role will be integral in assuring Dianthus is always inspection ready. You must possess experience and skill collaborating and influencing CRO’s, laboratories, and other clinical vendors in order to be successful in this role.

This is a unique opportunity to join a rapidly growing organization and have a significant impact at Dianthus. We are building a culture of individuals who hold our core principles at the center of our operations, with the goal to elevate the care of our patients’ lives. We are open to you working remotely.
